PAA coaches act independently under the umbrella of the Professional Anglers Association, and they are located throughout Britain. Many of the coaches are highly active and may be linked to individual fisheries or fishing tackle shops; others are more independent and prefer to coach on a one-to-one basis. However all PAA coaches have undergone specialised training and have passed the nationally-recognised coach qualification. Each PAA coach holds:-

• An accredited Level 1 or Level 2 1st4Sport coaching qualification,
• Specialised, comprehensive insurance,
• Up-to-date Child Protection training,
• A current First Aid certificate,
• Clearance from the Criminal Records Bureau.

A PAA coach is able to arrange specialist angling training for those new to angling or to existing anglers who want to brush up on their skill or learn more about specific styles of angling. They can offer:

• One-to-one tuition for a few hours,
• A programme of individual coaching,
• Coaching for groups of anglers, young or old.

Some coaches specialise in one discipline such as coarse, game or sea angling, others coach in more than one discipline.
